If I were ordering custom Hobie sails, I'd spend a few dollars more and order a jib with stripes to match my new main. I always liked that about the vintage boats. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I've just never liked the look of a solid color jib with a striped main. To me, they look mis-matched, although I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think Sea Breeze is a step in the right direction.

Might be a dumb question... but would it be possible to source your own 'approved' materiel for color or two... and then have Hobie build the sail?

Not that it matters for me I think? I am thinking I may treat myself to a set this winter... and one of the recent blues (iirc) mixed up with some gray/silver almost like the "hot Tamale" with red would be awesome? I think the one I like was called "Misty".. 2004-2005ish?

Or maybe even recreate the spirit of 76... or USMC theme?

Or worse.. I guess a rebel flag wouldn't be impossible? haaha... just kidding...

I would love me some black pirate rags though..

With custom sails could stripes be added like a 1984 Summer Nats, or Blue Hawaii?

I am interested in experimenting with the colors of sail cloth you listed in the above post. I am just not good at visualizing the difference between cranberry and barberry etc. and I am sure that there is a world of slack in what one computer "paintbrush" program might render as each. A friend of mine who works color offerings...would you possibly have those???...I think that would be the best way to manipulate and mix them on a computer overlay of the sails. Or failing that, do you ship swatches of sailcloth to prospective buyers?
